Facsimile apparatus

Abstract

A facsimile apparatus includes a receiving unit for receiving image data, a reading unit for reading an original image, an image output unit for outputting an image onto a recording medium, and an output position control unit for changing the output position of the image onto the recording medium depending on whether an output operation of an image received by the receiving unit or an output operation of an image read by the reading unit is performed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A facsimile apparatus comprising: receiving means for receiving image data;   reading means for reading an original image;   image output means for outputting an image onto a recording medium; and   output position control means for changing an output position of the image onto the recording medium depending on whether an outputting of an image received by sad receiving means or an outputting of an image read by said reading means is performed,   wherein said output position control means changes the output position by changing a transfer timing of image data to said image output means.   
     
     
       2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said output position control means transfers image data to said image output means in units of lines according to a signal for requesting image data from said image output means. 
     
     
       3. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said output position control means comprises a counter for counting the signal for requesting the image data, performs a transfer operation of image data according to the signal for requesting the image data when said counter counts a predetermined value, and changes a value to be set in said counter depending on whether a received image or a read image is to be output. 
     
     
       4. A method of outputting a received image and a read image, comprising the steps of: determining whether a received image or a read image is to be output; and   changing an output position of an image on a recording medium by changing a transfer timing of image data to an image output means depending on a determination result as to whether the received image or the read image is to be output.   
     
     
       5. A method of outputting a received image and a read image, comprising the steps of: determining whether a received image or a read image is to be output;   changing an output position of an image on a recording medium depending on a determination result as to whether the received image or the read image is to be output;   transferring image data to an image output means in units of lines; and   changing the output position of an image by changing a transfer timing of image data to the image output means.
